I am not sure if anyone will recall, but I had a Fecal Transplant via colonoscopy on June 13, 2011. At the time I had severe pan-colitis with doctors recommending biologic or surgery.

Since then I have been in remission. I had a colonoscopy a few months a go and my colon is in pristine condition with zero signs of inflammation. I have no symptoms and I am not taking any maintenance medications.

I share this in the hopes that others can find practitioners to help treat them.

If you have any questions about my process, I have an old thread on here called Fecal Transplant via colonoscopy or you can email me.

Awesome, where did you have this procedure?Male Mid 30'sDiagnosed Proctosigmoiditis (UC) February 2015Current Meds: Lialda 1.2gm 2x daily, generic rowasa as neededPerianal Abscess June 2015 Fistulotomy December 2015...Doc's still say it's UC, not Crohn's

Specific Carbohydrate Diet started June 2015. Still going strong.

i did it in ROchester, NY with Dr. Goldstein. I was not misdiagnosed. I had several biopsies since original diagnosis in 1998. I have not had a symptom since 2011. I am not sure Dr. Goldstein will do the procedure anymore as it became a liability for him, because the procedure technically is for Cdiff. I am not claiming that this is a cure all for everyone but it has been for me.Stacy

Great! so you only did the FMT the once? - if so that's amazing - I have done FMT a couple of times and I really believe it helped me. My stool literally changed overnight, from awful, to okay the next day, and then to looking good the following day, and it just continued, it's weird to see such a big difference so quick. I wish more people would give it a go.

Like the others said, what are you doing to maintain this remission, are you taking good supplements?SamanthaStopped smoking Jan 2013.

I am not specifically doing anything to maintain remission. I eat very clean and healthy and take care of myself by exercising. I make my own smoothies and use spirulina and maca but for general health. I have a yoga and meditation practice to keep the stress in check.

I am currently taking a high dose probiotic because I had to take abx after trying to fight off an infection without unsuccessfully.Stacy

Wow Stacy, I remember you!! So glad you are still in remission.

I went to the following site, read up on it, and then my husband helped me, I did an enema, and my stools changed the next day and continued to do so, so I really think it can help.

I am so pleased to read that people are having success with this treatment.

I haven't been on the site for a while as my health has been good. I was diagnosed with UC about 10 years ago, which flared terribly midway through my third pregnancy. I was hospitalised for ten days on IV steroids, but was unable to stay well after being discharged.

In desperation, with the support of my specialist, I tried FMT at home using my husband as a donor. The treatments definitely helped, but my symptoms would return when I stopped doing the transplants. After the birth of my daughter, my symptoms disappeared completely for a year or so. Since then, symptoms have been variable, but generally manageable. about 12 months ago, things were getting pretty bad again, and I was heading towards requiring hospitalisation again. I decided to do a transplant using my daughters stool. Two treatments, and I've been symptom free for 12 months. My last colonoscopy declared me to be in endoscopic remission, and my specialist is totally impressed

I encourage those of you interested in attempting this treatment to use a family member if possible. Whilst I had a positive response using my husbands stool, it has been much more significant with my daughter as a donor.

I am not using any other treatments, and haven't for a few years.Happy to share if anyone has any questions.
